Hello,
I was wondering if there’s any update for the Framework Laptop 13 (Ryzen AI 300) battery charge limiter not working. I know it’s a known issue (I think?) but I was wondering if there is any new update on it or on a bios update for it. I’ve tried to search but I don’t think anything recent; most threads also talk about the other AMD processor so it’s hard to find anything for the Ryzen AI 300 one.
I’ve tried the limiter without the battery “life extender” functionality, both together… neither of those options seem to work long term. For a few minutes it seem to work fine and then at some point it goes back to charging to 100%.
Thank you

### DIY Edition information
Memory: Crucial DDR5-5600 2x16GB, CT2KG56C4635
Storage: Crucial P310 1TB
### Standalone Operation
Are you running your mainboard as a standalone device. Is standalone mode enabled in the BIOS?
- [ ] Yes
- [x] No
## Describe the bug
"Battery charge limit" setting is ignored after reboot, after the PC is turned on. This was observed while Battery Life Extender is disabled to isolate the issue.
## Steps To Reproduce
First, a check to verify Battery charge limit works:
1. Boot up F13 while charger is plugged in.
2. Set "Battery charge limit" to a new number lower than the current battery percentage.
3. Save & exit. Boot continues and port LED should turn white.
Now, set up the conditions for reboot:
1. Power off computer.
2. Unplug charger.
3. Wait 2 minutes.
Now, steps that produce the error:
1. Plug in the charger. LED should turn white as the battery is at or above the charge limit.
2. Turn on the PC. The LED eventually turns orange and stays there.
3. Verify in the OS that the battery is charging above the set limit.
4. Unplug and plug the charger again. Verify that the LED is orange and that the battery continues to charge above the set limit.

Powering off, unplugging, and waiting re-sets the issue, but the issue re-occurs if the PC starts.
## Expected behavior
Battery charge limit is honored regardless of the combination of events.
1. Charger plugged while powered off (works)
2. Powered on while plugged in (issue)
3. Charger plugged while powered on (issue)
## Operating System (please complete the following information):
- OS/Distribution: Windows 11

Upgrade completed successfully. And the charge limit issue appears to be resolved.
It would seem they released a FW that resolved it
